"Overall we had a great night! Our server was very attentive and kind, took care in talking us through dishes/drinks and our allergies. She was fabulous! LOVED the curied lamb hummus, beef kofte and the no.23 cocktail. The drinks were all very good. My only issue was with the food this evening. I've been here a couple times before, and every other time everything was very flavorful and delicious. This time however, I felt like some dishes were bland? The rice, calamari and carrots were all incredibly bland. We did opt out for olives on the calamari, but the flavor of the calamari itself was just smoke and nothing else also it didn't have the best texture. The mejadra was bland and the fried onions weren't very crisp they were more chewy? The carrots were just carrots, still good but I feel like they could have used some salt or something. Also my partner and I disagree about the free naan, he loved it but I thought the texture was strange this time. A little too soft and crumbly, almost like GF bread? Overall tho, had a great time! Just a little disappointed in SOME of the dishes (:"

"This place is a 10/10! Everything we ate was hot, fresh, and delicious. Our hostess was incredible and all the staff was friendly. We went around 6:15 on a Friday night and we only had to wait for 10 minutes for a table. When you do come know that parking is street parking or there are a few spots in garages but it is limited. Overall definitely will be back! Perfect for date night, girls night or just a solo dinner."

"The food was small portions the server wasn't able to tell us what spices were used, she said around 15 types spices. The music was okay but kinda loud and not really Middle Eastern vibe. There was NO nutritional/calorie information available either. Honestly go to Sittos much better food and much more reasonably priced. Can say I been there done that. Wouldn't recommend if you want the full feeling without going broke. Drank water and what you see w/out tip was $75.00+ dollars!"

"I regret not discovering this place sooner! We arrived late, with no hope of being seated since the restaurant was about to close—but to my surprise, they welcomed us in. We ordered three dishes: the za’atar roasted carrots, the honey roasted beets, and the beef kofte. Everything was phenomenal — I’d even say it was the best kofta I’ve ever had. It practically melts in your mouth and is incredibly well seasoned. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful, and the atmosphere is warm, cozy, and stylish. If you’re passing through Cleveland or looking to try an excellent restaurant, make sure to visit Zhug."

"Excellent. Small shareable plates. We had 6 people and split about 14 small plates and everything was wonderful. Lamb, hummus, lentils, eggplant, cauliflower, chicken, moussaka, leeks, pita… and more, all wonderful. The only small plate that was not good was the rice that was super dry. We had lots of excellent cocktails and the service was top notch quick and friendly. We got sat immediately along the comfy bench, at the back wall. Food came out quick, in waves, and hot and fresh. Strongly recommend."
